I have composed a Missa Brevis (short Mass) setting with several distinct pieces. In the past I have simply printed each piece out on separate pages. However, I would like to put them all together in a book, with title page, contents (with one-bar snippets if that's not too difficult), a page of comments, etc. Can someone point me to where in the documentation (or elsewhere) I can find *all* the necessary information on doing that? I have looked in the docs, and found some of it, but I think I am missing something. I use 2.5.29, and run it on FreeBSD 5.3 with a reasonable amount of horsepower and ram.

There is no place where you can find all this info. The snippets would probably be done with quotes, the overall book with \book, titles with \header and possibly printallheaders, etc. You'll need to hunt around in the docs (and possibly lilypond-user
as well) to find all this info.

Graham, thanks for the reply. I was thinking that would be something like your answer. A while back I created a liturgy booklet using OpenOffice with PNGs inserted where I needed to. In OO I was able to shrink the lilypond pieces as necessary to fit them in. Having tweaked my lilypond files the way I want them, would this also not be a reasonable way to do the job, and also include other graphics as necessary? Especially for non-geeks like myself? (Perhaps objectionable only to the Lily purists :-)

Blessings,

Fr. Gordon Gilbert
